Plan a Fundraiser

We’re all about embracing fun and creative ways for you to support our mission. Whether it’s a golf tournament, a concert, a horse race, a backyard fundraiser, or an online fundraiser, the perfect event for your community is just an idea away.

Take inspiration from the Benhaim Family, who hosted “Tacos, Tequila & Totally Inspirational Cancer Survivors.” Their event not only raised over $25,000 but also welcomed many new supporters to our cause.

In addition to in person events, you can consider joining The Future Makers, a group of individuals hosting online fundraisers to support cancer survivors. The Future Makers Toolkit will help you plan, launch, and share your fundraiser.

Corporate Partnerships

There are many impactful ways for corporations to collaborate with us. Whether through a corporate scholarship, matching gifts, event sponsorships, volunteer grants, or other strategic partnerships, we are eager to explore opportunities that offer mutual benefits.

A prime example of such a partnership is our ongoing relationship with Jersey Mike’s. From 2019 to 2025, Cancer for College was fortunate to receive proceeds from their “Month of Giving” campaign across multiple regions in Southern California. Thanks to the initial outreach from local franchise owners—and now board members—Steve and Jolene Leonard, Jersey Mike’s has contributed over $5 million to support cancer survivors. In 2024, we were thrilled to expand this fruitful partnership to include regions in Alabama and Massachusetts.

Create an Honors Scholarship

Establishing a scholarship is a meaningful way to honor a loved one, celebrate survivorship, or create a lasting legacy that transforms lives. As a scholarship sponsor, you will collaborate with our staff to establish criteria and funding options, and you will have the opportunity to serve on the scholarship review committee. We encourage you to explore our available scholarships for inspiration on how you can make a lasting impact.
